How big is the SD card supposed to be to move files from one Wii to another?

Community Answer

Any SD card will work, but if you're using an SDHC card, your Wii must be running 4.0 or above to read data from it. Also, SDXC cards on any system menu will need to be reformatted to FAT32, allowing only 32GB to be used.

Tips

If the game has never been played on the target Wii, you must load the game first (no need to play), return to the home screen then copy the game data file from the SD card to Wii memory. The Wii will now recognize the copied data file.
